Herbal supplementation has become an integral part of heatlhcare
today. Many things need to be considered when buying herbal
supplementation. As of yet, the FDA does not require any
standardization in the manufacturing process for over the counter
vitamins and herbs. It is therefore VITAL that the patient
know and understand the product they are purchasing.
Many environmental factors can effect the herbal environment in
which the product is grown. Weather, for example, plays a
crucial role in the outcome of the product. If the product
was grown under extremely dry or wet conditions, the herb may
be lacking essential nutrients needed from the soil.
Likewise, if the product is manufactured with chemical pestides and
preservatives, they may then be passed on to the herb.
This is why at Wake Forest Drug we purchase all of our vitamins
from suppliers that routinely test their products for purity and
include standardization in their processing. Likewise we are
proud to carry herbal supplementation from Natural Creations.
